More information on Billy Goat Tavern

Hidden below the Wrigley Building is this storied Chicago hole-in-the-wall, a longtime hangout for newspaper reporters over the years, evidenced by the yellowed clippings and memorabilia papering the walls. The "cheezeborger, cheezeborger" served at the grill inspired the famous Saturday Night Live sketch. Despite all the press, the Goat has endured the hype without sacrificing a thing.
